The show and the meal were great. After the show, everyone went to the restroom, and it got really crowded. In the end, we were a bit late for the meeting time. It was also a struggle to find the car on the way back. I wish there could have been a better arrangement for the meeting time and finding the car, but with so many people and the distance, it was quite overwhelming...
ショーや食事は良かったです。
ショーが終わって、みんなトイレに行き大混雑。
結局集合時間を少し過ぎました。
帰りの車を探すのも苦労をしました。もう少し、集合時間と帰りの車についてなんとかなればと思いましたが、たくさんの人と道のりもありせいいぱいかなぁ・・・

Last time, I participated in a night show tour, but I wanted to see more, so this time I chose a full-day tour. Since I am learning Tahitian dance, I am very interested in Polynesian life and dance, and this time I was able to see a canoe show, which was thrilling and extremely satisfying.
In the island area, I was able to experience hula, fire-making, and tattooing, and just when I thought, "I'm getting a bit hungry," it was suddenly dinner time. The area was so large that I couldn't explore it all, so I want to go back again.
The night show was also wonderful, and I think if I saw a similar show in Japan, it wouldn't even cover the cost of this full-day tour. I definitely recommend the full-day tour.
前回は夜のショーを見るツアーに参加しましたが、もっと色々見てみたいと思っていたので、今回は1日のツアーを選んでみました。
タヒチアンダンスを習っているので、ポリネシアの生活やダンスに大変興味があり、今回はカヌーショーも見る事が出来たので、もぅドキドキの大満足でした。
島エリアで、フラや火起しやタトゥー体験も出来て、「なんかお腹が空いたなぁ〜」って思ったら、アッと言う間にディナータイムになっていました。広くて回りきれなかったので、また行きたいです。
夜のショーも素晴らしく、日本で同じ様なショーを見たら それだけで今回の1日のツアー代金ではおさまらないと思います。是非1日のツアーをおすすめします。

Since it was far away, I went on a tour. On the bus ride there, the guide shared various interesting stories about Hawaii's past and present.
After arriving, a Japanese student guided us, and we had a great time exploring. We visited villages from six countries in the Polynesian Islands and experienced shows. Due to time constraints, there were moments when we had to move on while others were still participating in activities, but the area is so vast that it's definitely recommended to go on a tour.
Personally, I thought the Tonga show was the best! Men from various countries are selected, and the third one is chosen from among Asians, so I hope the selected person enjoys it.
The dinner buffet was also delicious. The watermelon was lighter than the ones in Japan, but it was refreshing and tasty after sweating, and I had plenty.
Finally, there was the night show. It felt like everyone who visited was there, as there were so many people, and the energy was incredible. I didn't understand all the content of the stories, but there were many performers dancing and using fire, so I enjoyed watching it. During a break, they started selling ice cream, and there was a line for it. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it.
We arrived back at the hotel a bit late, but it was a fun day experiencing the true essence of Hawaii. I recommend the tour not just at night but also during the day!
遠いのでツアーでいきました。行きのバスではガイドさんがハワイの昔や今の色んな話をしてくださったので興味深かったです。
到着してからは学生さんが(日本人)案内をしてくれて楽しくまわることが出来ました。
ポリネシア諸島の6つの国の村をまわり体験やショーを見ます。
時間の関係もあって他の方達が体験されてるのを横目に進んでいく時もありましたが、ツアーでないとまわりきれない広さではあるのでやはりツアーがお薦めです。
個人的にはトンガのショーが最高でした!色んな国の男性が選ばれますが、三人目はアジア人から選ばれるそうなので選ばれた方はぜひ楽しんでもらいたいです。
夕食のビュッフェも美味しかったです。
スイカも日本の物よりはアッサリですが汗をかいた身体には美味しく、沢山頂きました。
最後にナイトショーです。
来園された方が全員入られたのでは?と思うくらい沢山の方が見に来られていて熱気も凄かったです。
全ての話の内容がわかった訳ではないですが、沢山の出演者の踊りや火を使ったものもあるので楽しんで見れました。
途中の休憩でアイスクリームの販売が始まり行列をなしていました。皆さん美味しそうに食べてられましたよ。
帰りはホテルに少し遅く着きますがハワイらしいハワイを体験出来て楽しい1日になりました。
夜だけでなくお昼からのツアーがお薦めです!

My sister and I wanna say thank you all at big chief's luau. First luau ever and we had a blast. So glad I had chosen Big Chief's. By far the best even though I'd had never been to another. The family oriented feeling you received you felt as if you had known them longer then you had. The food and entertainment was awesome. Not to mention the lesson in life to learn from . Teaching cultures and hawaii traditions was special. much love to the crew at Big chief's for making us feel so welcome. I would recommend to anyone I know. Even the bus tour guides was top stars.

We chose the whole day outing at the Polynesian Culture Center and we didn't regret it. Our transportation was on time, the escort was very entertaining and informative and the drive from Maui to the Center beautiful.
We visited as many island sites as possible and found each different and informative and also entertaining. The water parade was gorgeous.
In the afternoon we went for the luau that was extremely well organized. The food was ample and good.
The luau that followed was breathtaking. The dances, the fire dances, the costumes, the colors each and every one was superb.
When all was over we found our bus that brought us back to our hotel. The day was over but the memories lingered on.

For a typical trip, I would consider using the local bus, but the access here isn't very good, and since the park is quite large, it was a good decision to take the tour for efficient sightseeing.
Right after arriving, we enjoyed the canoe show (I'll post photos), where dancers performed traditional dances from the Polynesian islands on their respective canoes, which was wonderful.
The best attraction was Samoa and Tonga! Tonga was interactive, and the selected men had to play the drums. The people chosen when we participated were very talented, and we couldn't stop laughing. The Samoa attraction uses fire, but the mysterious vibe of the older gentleman stood out and made it fun. I recommend participating not just at night but also during the day!
Waikiki is urban, so it was here that I first felt the essence of Hawaii. Make sure to visit this place first when you arrive in Hawaii.
普段の旅行なら、路線バスを使用して、、と考えるとこですが、こちらアクセスがあまり良くなく、全てのアトラクションが、見れないまでも、園内も広いためツアーで効率よく周れ正解でした。
着いて直ぐにカヌーショウ《写真を投稿しますが》、ポリネシアの島々に伝わる踊りをそれぞれのカヌー上で披露され素敵でした。
アトラクションで一番良かったのが、サモアとトンガ!トンガは、参加型で、選ばれし男性が太鼓を叩かされます。私が たちが参加した時に選ばれた方々は芸達者で、笑いが止まりませんでした。サモアのアトラクションは火を使いますが、おじさまの怪しい雰囲気が際立ちすぎて楽しかったです。夜だけでなく昼から参加されるのがおすすめです!
ワイキキは都会なのでここに来て初めてハワイらしさを感じられました。ハワイに着いたら1番に行ってください。

Amazing! It was great to see how rich and important the polynesian culture is. I learned a lot about the history, arts, music, history and games in Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. The cultural center is well organized and the shows and exhibitions are really neat. The staff member are very kind and polite. The food was delicious and the final show (Ha! Breath of Life) was fantastic! Don't miss the Hawaiian Journey movie, it features amazing landscapes, majestic mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes and lush forests.
Polynesian Cultural Center is a must-do in Hawaii, specially if you have kids.

There were few Japanese participants, and both on the bus and during the show, an interesting guy talked a lot, so it was tough if you didn't understand English to some extent. My parents in their 70s, who went with me, couldn't enjoy it and ended up dozing off. There were various activities before the show, and participating in them was really fun. The food was quite good for a luau show buffet. The hula dance only took up a small portion of the show and the quality wasn't that high. The highlight was the fire dance performed by a large group. It was a luau show where you could feel the atmosphere of both America and Hawaii throughout.
日本人の参加は少なく、バスの中もショーの中でも面白いおじさんが喋りまくる、時に話しかけられるので、英語がある程度わからないと厳しいです。一緒に行った70代の両親は楽しめず、居眠りしてました。。ショーの前に色々なactivityがあり、参加してみるととても楽しかったです。食事はルアウショーのビュッフェにしては美味しかったです。ショーの中でフラが占める割合はほんの少しで、それほどクオリティも高くないです。圧巻だったのは大人数でのファイヤーダンスでした。アメリカとハワイの空気を随所に感じるルアウショーでした。

The Japanese guide who led us from the meeting point to the Polynesian Cultural Center was like everyone's mother! I'm so grateful.
As soon as we arrived at the venue, we had a meal. The food was, well, pretty good. After eating, we did a little shopping, but we only had about 15 minutes to spare. Honestly, I wish we had more time to look around. Then we watched the show.
The show was dynamic, but I was a bit tired, so I dozed off for a little while. If asked whether I would watch the show again, I probably wouldn't. However, for those who haven't seen it at all, I would say, "You should see it!" Just seeing it once is enough.
There were many buses lined up for the return trip. Before we left, we were told the bus license plate number and the bus gathering area, so I made sure to jot that down to remember it when looking for our bus to board.
It's a bit lonely not having the Japanese mother figure who was with us on the way there (laughs). If you have the time, I think the all-day course would be great, not just the twilight one.
迎えの場所からポリネシア文化センターまで誘導していただいた日本人のガイドさんは、まるでみんなのお母さんみたい!感謝です。
会場では着いてほぼすぐに食事。内容はまあ、普通においしかったですよ。
食べ終わったら少し買い物をしましたが15分くらいしか余裕がなかった。もっとゆっくり見る時間があるとよかったなぁ、が本音です。それからショーの見学。
ショーはダイナミックでしたが、私が少し疲れていたこともあり、ちょっとばかり途中でうとうと。。もう一度、そのショーを見るか、と言われるとたぶんみません。。
でも一度も見ていない人には「見ておけば?」かと。一度見れば十分、ということです。
帰りのバスは多数が並んでいます。行きの時点で帰りのバスのナンバープレートの番号とバスの集合エリアを教えられるのでそれを忘れにメモしておいて、帰りのバスを探して乗り込みます。
行きで一緒にいていただいた日本人のお母さん(笑)はいらっしゃらないのでそこがちょっと寂しいのですけどね。
もし時間がある方は、トワイライトだけでなく終日コースがよさそうですよ。

It's the only place in Waikiki where you can see a Polynesian show. The Golden Circle seats are a bit pricey, but they are arranged around the stage, and the buffet is served first, making it recommended for families with children or elderly guests. Since it's outdoors, you can also feel the Hawaiian atmosphere. I would like to give it five stars, but there's a downside of cancellation in case of rain, so I'll deduct one star... but there's nothing we can do about that.
唯一ワイキキでポリネシアンショーが観れるところです。ゴールデンサークルは少し高い金額ですが、舞台周りに席が用意されていて、ブッフェも先に案内されるので子供連れやお年寄り連れなどの場合はオススメです。野外なのでハワイらしさも感じることができます。星5つにしたいのですが、雨天中止というデメリットがあるので星1つ減点・・・でもこればっかりは仕方ないですね。

We left at 4 PM and it took a little over an hour. There seems to be a lot going on, but we decided on a show and a meal. The meal is all-you-can-eat and really tasty. Women can choose to have crab if they like. The show is exciting, and after it's over, you can take pictures together, but you need to hurry back to the bus. I'm torn between going to the restroom or taking pictures.

We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.
